First Maple Grove points race of the season. I was a little shakey at first but calmed down, got a couple of "luckey" rounds then got past 2 really tough racers in the last rounds. I had last season points champ in the semi finals and faced the #2 seed in the finals. I got the win Saturday night and I'm still wired. Its strange seeing my name in the #1 spot for the Street class.
Standings are as of 4/1/07. It ain't no April fools joke.

 

Most excellent, Jim!!! Nice to hear / see my mentor back in the limelights!!! You're deserving of a break for a change.

 

Outstanding! hope I get to post something positive once we start the season! Keep it up!

 

awsome Jim! I bet that payout check you were not expecting to get huh? Just goes to show you that just because your the top dawg doesnt mean your gonna win. I'm sure your many hours of practice are starting to pay off also Maybe those guys are saying... you know who you just raced? Thats that new up and coming guy who is just awsome!

 

Congrats on the win Jim! It was well deserved!!!

That bottmbulb guy sure knows what he's talking about eh?

 

Woohooo! Look at this.

Congrats man...makes me more anxious to get a car ready

 

Jim,

That's tough to do at the Grove. Hat's off to ya. A couple more of those and you're in bracket finals fo-sho. Were you running the teal car in street? I thought you had it set up for Pro.

Steve

 

Steve, thanks. The teal car was slowed down to run street, pro, and 12.0 index. I'm running points in Street and Pro. I lost first round of Pro. We were held at the line for a computer timing glich. I should of redone the burnout. The car skated out and I lost .10 in my 60' need to say more?

When did you take Bud's school Jim? How much time did you spend with him? I've been pondering this for a while...

 

You changed your email address and didn't tell me Please PM me a good one. Thanks, Jim

Lets say I spent a little more that the advertised 4 hour classroom session

 

It's in my profile but I sent you a PM also.

My gmail account was hijacked. If I gave the guy webcam pics, he would have given me my new password... I had the account closed.

 

Can't blame a guy for trying. Sent email to your home.
